Other than writing your own script several of the em image analysis packages (e.g. spider, situs, suprim) have routines to convert between varius file formts including ASCII. The Situs package (http://situs.biomachina.org/fguide.html#map2map) uses ASCII files and has a routine to convert MRC type files to situs (map2map). Hernando Do-Nyun Kim wrote:
Dear Chimera staff,
I'm trying to get the map density data like voxel coordinates and density values at each voxel from .map files in EM database.
Is there any way to get these data using Chimera?
Or can I save it as an ascii file such that I can read it? All map files seem to be saved as binary files.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards, Do-Nyun Kim.
